A 47-year-old man of Irish descent was severely disabled by idiopathic spasmodic torticollis. Sodium valproate (Epilim) and baclofen (Lioresal) in combination provided marked relief maintained for over 6 months. No adverse or toxic effects were recorded during treatment. This is believed to be the first report in the literature on the efficacy of this drug combination in the treatment of idiopathic spasmodic torticollis.
